Let Me Fix You

Chapter 1

‘’ Flight 247 for London now boarding, again flight 247 for London now boarding’’ said the attendant in a squeaky voice that was not great to be in at such an awful time in the morning. As you can tell I am not a morning person and that was just adding to the hate I had for this day. I froze at the sound of this and couldn’t find the power to stand up. ‘’ Come on Katie, get up! You’re going to miss your flight. Now call me every day and tell me how it goes. I will miss you!’’ my friend Anna said as her eyes glazed over with tears. I hugged her tight but couldn’t find the strength to say anything. I let one tear fall from eye.

 ‘’ Goodbye Anna! I will miss you.” I said as I trudged to the desk where the lady impatiently waited for me to board the plane. I gave her my ticket and made my way to find my seat. I found my way to my seat and was thankful the seat beside it was empty. I couldn’t find it in me to talk to anyone anymore it was just so hard to move on. How can you move on when both of your parents are dead from a car crash that you were in and should have died? I should be the one six feet deep in the ground not them I thought to myself.

Then my hopes were crushed when I felt someone come and sit beside me. I couldn’t bother to look because no matter whom it was I couldn’t care less. The two people who I cared about most were dead. Basically, a part inside of me died when they died. It is part that cannot be healed and will forever be broken. I plug my earphones into my iPod and try to drown out my problems and the world with the voice of Ed Sheeran.  Just as I thought it was going to work out I felt someone tap on my shoulder. I tried to act asleep but they didn’t get the hint and said, ‘’ I know you are awake, you could at least say hi. My name is harry styles and it is a pleasure to me you”.

 I slowly opened my eyes and looked at him. He looked familiar but who cares, right now I don’t really care about anything. “Can I help you?” I said. I am usually a happy person but right now I want to wallow in my own self-pity and so I took the blame out on anyone because they were happy. He didn’t falter his smile and said, “Actually yes, I was looking for a friend for this flight and I think you are the one”.

This dude really needs to buzz out and realize that I don’t want to talk to him, I thought to myself.  I took a deep breath and tried to keep my cool, I had only been on this plane for ten minutes and was ready to snap at someone. ‘’ My name is Katie and my life sucks. I don’t have the energy to talk to you right now’’. I tried to put my ear buds in my ears but he stopped me and said, “ do you want to talk about it?’’.

It was a strange different that he really acted like he cared. Most people just nodded their head and pretended to care but he really did listen and let me speak. I talked to him for the rest of the flight and told him about my life. It was not easy talking about how my parents died and I was moving in with my uncle whom I had never met that lived in London.  He held me and let me cry out the tears I had not let anyone see, even Anna, the whole time.  I slowly slipped into a deep sleep and slept in Harry’s arms the rest of the flight.
